Cheesy Zucchini and Herb Bake

Ingredients

3 medium Zucchinis, grated and squeezed dry

3 large Eggs, beaten

1 cup All-purpose flour

1 teaspoon Baking powder

1/2 cup Vegetable oil

1 small Onion, finely diced

2 cups Shredded Cheddar or Mozzarella cheese (divided)

1/4 cup Fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional: Diced ham or cooked bacon for extra savoriness

Preparation

1. Prep the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This is the “secret” to ensuring your bake isn’t watery.

2. Mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and oil. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and herbs. Stir until a thick batter forms.

3. Combine: Fold in the squeezed zucchini, diced onion, and one cup of the shredded cheese.

4. Bake: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch glass baking dish.

5. Golden Top: Sprinkle the remaining one cup of cheese over the top.

6. Cook: Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is a beautiful golden brown.

7. Serve: Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing so the cheese can set.
